Male anime character face drawing step by step. Draw the basic shape of the head starting with a vertical line to help you make sure both halves are even. Position the facial features as described earlier. Draw the hair after placing all of the facial features.
To draw a male “protagonist” character with their normal expressions draw the eyebrows in their natural position and draw the eyes with fairly large pupils/irises. If you want a friendly looking character draw the mouth with a light smile.
The concerned or “thinking” expression is one that the “intellectual” character is likely to make. Anime intellectual male character concerned face drawing. For the concerned expression draw the eyebrows lower down and closer together with some wrinkles in between them.
Anime guy face drawing. The “average guy” character is usually meant to be someone the viewer can relate to or cheer for. These are often the protagonists of anime shows and manga or the lead male character if the protagonist is a female. Somewhat messy medium length hair is very common for these types of characters.
Before going into drawing specific character archetypes it’s a good idea to first analyze the characteristic features of male anime faces. While there is quite a bit of variation in the anime and manga style generally all anime characters tend to have large eyes, small noses amd simplified mouths with no lips.
Anime guy happy face drawing. A happy smile can be one of the expressions this type of character is likely to have. Usually this is a look the main male character can give to a character they like such as the female protagonist. Anime male character happy face drawing.
Anime intellectual guy face drawing. The “intellectual” character type in anime and manga does not necessarily mean a shy or weak male character. On the contrary quite often these characters can be both physically though and intelligent. Often these tend to be the school council president or some type of leader.
The most distinctive part of the head is an elongated sphere that represents the cranium. It looks like a circle in the front view and an oval in the side view. The basic proportions of an anime head are very simple: the whole head should have a middle line...
Although manga style faces are pretty feminine to begin with, there are certain ways to make the face look more masculine: The eyebrows are placed low above the eyes. The eyebrows may be thicker and less curved. The eyes are narrower. The eyelashes are minimal and less prominent. The pupil is small and circular.
To create a style that will look good and not monstrous, always keep these basic proportions: half of the head as a line marking the eyes, the nose halfway down the lower half, and the mouth around one-third of the distance under the nose. The rest you can freely experiment with! Just remember to keep the features consistent: the more deformed the style, the less realistic the facial features should be to make it all look intentional.
Anime eyes can be stylized in various ways to make the character unique. It's especially important in a classic, black-and-white manga, where you can't distinguish the eyes with a color.
What You'll Be Creating. The anime style was created to make animated characters both expressive and easy to animate. This means that many elements of the face have been extremely simplified—and this means they are easy to draw, too. However, if you want to draw anime characters from imagination, you must know certain rules.
Eyes are certainly the most developed feature in a manga face. The other features are heavily stylized and as simple as possible. Let me show you how to achieve this effect.
In anime, the facial expressions are as simple as the facial features. They resemble simple emoticons to a large extent, and you can use them as inspiration. Less is more here—if your character doesn't have detailed lips on their neutral face, don't show the teeth and tongue in any expressions. Keep these features exaggerated, but minimal in details.
When you’re drawing a young boy or girl character, make the neck lines closer to the chin that the sides of the jaw. Hold your drawing out in front of you to see if the neck looks too long or short while you’re drawing it. Erase or extend the lines further depending on how it looks to you.
Place a horizontal mark for the chin underneath the circle. Find the distance from the center of the circle to the line you drew for the nose. Measure down from the bottom of the circle (or the nose line) to the distance you just found and make a small horizontal mark on the vertical center line.
For a female character, place the lines for the neck closer to the chin so it’s narrower. Make straight vertical lines extending from the jaw on each side of the face to make the neck. Younger manga or anime characters will have a narrow neck since they aren’t as muscular or defined.
If you want to make a simple nose, just put a dot on the point where the nose guide line and the vertical center line intersect.
1. Place ears on the sides of the head between the eye and nose lines. The top and bottom of each ear will line up with the eye and nose lines you drew earlier. Sketch oblong C-shapes between the guide lines for your ears so they connect to the sides of the circle and jawline.
Outline the jaw for your character. Start on either the left or right side of the circle at its widest point. Draw a line from the side of the circle that’s slightly angled toward the vertical center line. Continue drawing the line until you reach the mark you made for the nose.
1. Draw a circle on your paper with a vertical line running through the middle. Use a pencil so you’re able to erase your lines if you make a mistake. Lightly draw the circle in the center of a piece of paper so you have room to add features to it.
